IMO it was up to kickstarter to be the filter. He got it approved so its all good. If he finds enough friends to chip in then happy ending. If not he can try Gofundme. But I think his heart is probably in the right place. Just using the wrong venue to accomplish what he's trying to do.jollyblackburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10842567571943910730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-87821048844135142702017-04-04T11:34:26.826-04:002017-04-04T11:34:26.826-04:00This sounds a heck of a lot like a Go Fund Me thin...This sounds a heck of a lot like a Go Fund Me thing instead of Kickstarter. Kickstarter is when you are creating something that others can receive original material and items for their contribution. Something must be PRODUCED in order to ask for Kickstarter funding. Get your shit straight. This is just out and out asking for money. I know you are a vet and all, but it's not our JOB to give you gas money so you can play games. I don't own a car and therefor cannot play ANY roleplaying games with my friends. You don't see me asking you guys to go out and buy me a car, do you?Jeff Mackayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935327176541563432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-73718571604769095682017-04-04T07:16:43.992-04:002017-04-04T07:16:43.992-04:00Exactly.

Most tend not to attend local games shops for various reasons, but instead play with friends that they've cultivated through in-person networking over many years, or through various groups like the Ohio State RPG club that used to be a thing. A lot of the gamers are adults with families and jobs, so game time is limited, so people tend to be more fickle about who they play with and when - and what's the point of going to a game store to play when everyone has to travel to a place that doesn't offer the amenities of home for the limited time that people have? (One of the reasons I don't play in the stores, although there are others).<br /><br />I've played many games in person over the years in the local area, as well as played many online. But with limited time you have to pick and choose what gets priority. Every 2-4 weeks I run games for teens for the Northwest Library, as does my daughter who has her own groups that play in person at the library, at other public locations, and online. I'm starting to get back to playing games, but my priority really is in creating and publishing content for InfiniBadger (which I'm starting to get back to after getting a handle on my fibromyalgia).Teh Bagder (Jay)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11990479684994472511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-24179381861815251462017-04-04T03:13:17.218-04:002017-04-04T03:13:17.218-04:00At least the vorpal guy updates his KS btw.
